Gavin,
>>There are still 7.2 systems out there which need it. The problem is,
>>adddepend is broken when run against 8.1. It breaks on serial, I think.
And on some other stuff, too. I didn't document all the failures, I
just tested and killed it.
Think is, 8.1 does a much better job of upgrading 7.2 datatabases than
7.3 or 7.4 did anyway. I just tested using a database created in 7.1
and upgraded to 7.2 which has a baroque and unnecessarily complex schema
(legacy production applicaiton) which breaks on 7.4 without adddepends.
I was able to upgrade it to 8.2(today) and it worked without adddepends.
I'm testing dump, load, dump, load now to see if it still works OK.
